The current EmuTOS version is hosted on github, maybe you are using an older version?

Also, at least some of the bus-error messages are normal, unlike TOS, EmuTOS checks the available hardware, and you will get those message from hardwre that is not present on the machine you are emulating. As long as your programs don't crash with a panic message, you don't have to worry about that.

Please define "ages". Also: What do you mean by "load"? To the boot screen? To the desktop? How long does it take for the EmuTOS boot screen to appear? How long does it take for the desktop to appear?

Atari TOS and EmuTOS try to read the floppy drive (on Hatari as well as on real hardware). If there is no floppy (i.e. floppy image on an emulator) inserted, it will repeatedly try until a timeout occurs. This prolongs the boot time of Atari TOS and EmuTOS. Try creating an empty floppy image within Hatari and load the image into drive A:. Does it speed up things?

czietz, it gets to the EmuTOS boot screen almost instantly.. it's going from there to the desktop that takes a while.. I haven't run a stopwatch on it but it's several minutes. Then when it's up to the desktop, it's laggy as hell.
